Alright so Back to replying to my own posts, This is really starting to feel like linux......

So I loaded the lts-saucy kernel and my internet speeds jumped to 130-150mb/s transfer rate. Great!!!

Wait, why doesnt touch scrolling or clicking work.... oh Ubuntu doesnt  think I have a touch pad now. SO I can choose between reasonable internet or a working touch pad. 

Anyone fixed this?

Have you tried blacklisting i2c_hid?

In the terminal, type:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_i2c_hid.conf

then type the following into that file:

blacklist i2c_hid

Save, exit and restart and you should be done.

Awesome! That worked great. As I was googling around I found that fix. But it was mentioned that doing it may cause some issues with suspending. Have you guys seen any of that? I dont typically suspend in linux because its never seemed to work well until this laptop so I was pretty stocked to see that, but if it does cause me issues I think  I can work around that.

That's correct. Blacklisting i2c-hid will allow you to run the latest lts-saucy kernels and get your touchpad back.

The new XPS 13 has a Synaptics touchpad which can act in both PS/2 and HID over I2C mode. If during the initialization the system sends i2c commands, it switches to i2c and drops the ps/2 interface.  Newer kernels such as lts-saucy have this i2c support built in, while the kernel pre-loaded with the XPS13 fell back to psmouse mode since it did not have a lot of i2c support in it. 

There are several problems currently:
- Synaptics is pushing a proper hid driver for this touchpad, but it is still a long ways from complete.  It might be later this summer before anything is ready to go. 
- In i2c (hid) mode, the touchpad behaves like a basic mouse. In psmouse mode, you at least get the scrolling and tap to click functionality back.  

Ubuntu as well as other distributions (like Fedora) are aware of this and are, for the time being, recommending the i2c blacklist workaround while Synaptics gets things sorted upstream.  

Cool Ill try it later today. I was really hoping to get away from kernel hacking. I just came from the chromebook pixel, running ubuntu and debian. But I guess thats half the fun. 

I downloaded kernel packages from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-trusty/

For amd64 you'll need three:

linux-headers-3.13.0-031300_3.13.0-031300.201401192235_all.deb
linux-headers-3.13.0-031300-generic_3.13.0-031300.201401192235_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.13.0-031300-generic_3.13.0-031300.201401192235_amd64.deb

Then from your downloads folder, do:

sudo dpkg -i linux*3.13*.deb

or just manually dpkg -i each file above.

I can't remember exactly how I got the touchpad working. It initially showed up as a generic mouse which meant I couldn't turn off tapping (which drove me nuts). I'll get to finding out how that was done in a moment.

Edit: I performed the blacklist mentioned above (added "blacklist i2c_hid" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_i2c_hid.conf)

The software Im using isnt supported in anything newer then 13.04. I dont mind pulling the new kernels down. Heck I was building new kernels from source ever couple weeks on the pixel :D

Understandable. The newer kernel dropped in effortlessly, no compatibility issues.

You could always wait until next month when ubuntu 14.04 LTS is released with this 3.13 kernel in it.

It seems all of my touchscreen, touchpad, and wifi issues have resolved by upgrading to the 3.13 kernel.

Edit: And suspend seems to work fine (though I had no suspend issues on 3.12 either)

What did you do to get to the 3.13 kernel? When I upgraded to the mainline 3.14rc7 in the ubuntu repo's I still had the touch pad issues.
